That this is actually true or that it its nothing but a progressive socialist liberal Democrat ploy to avoid a congress investiagtion, can be explained by Hillary herself when she used the phrase to explain her take on General Patraeus' "surge" in Afghanistan, 'One has to suspend disbelief '.
Hillary Hospitalized with Blood Clot
By Karen
DeYoung,
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was hospitalized in New York on
Sunday after doctors monitoring her recovery from a concussion discovered a
blood clot, according to a statement from her office.
The statement said that “in the course of a follow-up exam, Secretary
Clinton’s doctors discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the
concussion she sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with
anti-coagulants and is at New York-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can
monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
“Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues
associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is
required.”
Clinton aide Philippe Reines, who issued the statement, declined to provide
further details.
Reines said on Thursday that Clinton’s recuperation was continuing and that
she was expected to resume her office schedule this week.
Clinton, 65, has not been seen in public since the first week in December,
when she reportedly contracted a stomach virus during a trip to Europe. On Dec.
15, the State Department said that she had fainted at her home two days earlier, as a result of
dehydration from the virus, and had sustained a concussion. The State Department
said that her doctors had advised further rest.
During her absence, Clinton canceled an overseas trip and her scheduled
testimony before Congress about the Sept. 11 attack on a U.S. diplomatic
compound in Benghazi, Libya. She also did not appear at the White House on Dec.
21, when President Obama introduced Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) as his nominee to
succeed Clinton.
Republicans have said that they are likely to hold up Kerry’s nomination
hearing until Clinton testifies about the Benghazi attack, but the
impact of this new disclosure was unclear.
Clinton said two summers ago that she would not stay in her job in a second
Obama term.
Before the announcement about Clinton’s hospitalization, Obama appeared
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” and reaffirmed an earlier decision by Clinton
to carry out all 29 recommendations made by a State Department review panel that
examined the circumstances surrounding the attacks in Benghazi that
killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans on Sept.
11. “My message to the State Department has been very simple, and that is we’re
going to solve this,” he said. “We’re not going to be defensive about it; we’re
not going to pretend that this was not a problem — this was a huge problem.”
Obama said one major finding — that the State Department relied too heavily
on untested local Libyan militias to safeguard the compound in Benghazi —
reflected “internal reviews” by the government. “It confirms what we had already
seen based on some of our internal reviews; there was just some sloppiness, not
intentional, in terms of how we secure embassies in areas where you essentially
don’t have governments that have a lot of capacity to protect those embassies,”
he said.
